Battenberg Cake

History at Wikipedia
Recipe by Bron Marshall (prepare more apricot jam though!)

This turned out to be much tastier than I imagined it to be.
I wonder how a lemon-y cake would taste.

Also, I would recommend weighing the batter. I ended up with more pink than white cake!

Mobiles

I love mobiles ... more than wall-hung art, I think.

Lisa Occhipinti (courtesy of Making It Lovely) - Dreamy, books with their pages all unfurled ... as soon as I have a ceiling from which I can hang this!
Julie Frith - abstract shapes, bold colours (we have one; I love it)
